-GD-X★ 7,733 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I think I’m now level 19 or 20. Not bad for 8 hours of play i decided to switch things up and move to winter. I love how you can shift the seasons at any time (once you unlock them). I will play some more this weekend, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yes I use a wheel. All assists off feels perfect. Turn that shit off and learn to feather the brakes and accelerate properly. Your entire driving game will improve because of it It better be a Fanatec wheel don't disappoint me XboxRemipee I'm in awe with this game, the way the Subaru handles and the sounds holy fuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,557 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Since this is the current Forza discussion thread I'll chime in with my early thoughts. Played for a few hours yesterday. It's still the superb arcadey Horizon racer. It looks absolutely breathtakingly good. It is still however just more Horizon, so much is the same. The map, the race icon/style, the structure, barns, etc. This is very much an annual (biannual) sequel in every way. One gripe I do have though, the addition of cosmetics as rewards is horrible imo. Roll a megaspin and get a 'Shiny pick slippers', 'Black Turtleneck' and some hat. This is a RACING game, why am I being 'rewarded' by stupid clothes for my useless avatar that I only ever see standing awkwardly (forced af to give reason for cosmetics) after I finish a race. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lmfao!!! I said the same thing about that stupid prize wheel stuff. I also felt that same deja vu feeling. I mean..It shits on 3’s visuals, map design, and controls. However, after plowing through it earlier today, I felt like I can wait until sat before I play it again (2 and 3 had me hooked for days straight, though). So, I agree with your post 100%. It’s by far the best racing game ever...but 2 and 3 were pretty awesome already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,622 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The cool thing is every week the seasons change and judging from the prologue alone there is a TON of variety change and it will feel fresh each week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Horizon 3 was my first Horizon game and that blew me away, this one is more of a continuation of that great thing without the same initial impact. Sort of how I feel AC Odyssey is going to be compared to Origins. Still a great game but the formula needs either a break or a significant change for the next gen. Regarding best racing game ever, for me personally, from an arcade perspective, nothing has beaten Burnout 3. Absolutely love the Horizon series but the adrenaline pumping during BO3 events (especially road rage) were something else completely. BO going open world made it lose that intensity also imo. Without a doubt that Horizon is the current best racer on the market though. 11 minutes ago, Jon2B said: The cool thing is every week the seasons change and judging from the prologue alone there is a TON of variety change and it will feel fresh each week. I'm currently up to Spring (in what I guess is the prologue) and the season changes is a cool touch. It's not some entirely game/genre changing thing though, it's cool to see the open world effected but racers have had variety in the form of different and same tracks with different weather and day/night conditions for ages. It just wasn't on a weekly shared world format. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhytre 2,753 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Pretty cool what people are making in the paint shop or whatever it's called. Played some online races, smooth as butter. Winter looks sick gonna have to play some rally races in that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing has prior, just saying that weather variety isn't some gigantic ground breaking thing. I personally would love more race type variety and I don't mean Street, rally, etc I'm sounding a little negative and I don't mean to be. This is still an incredibly good game. An easy 9/10.

I think it is pretty groundbreaking. There could have been more race type variety I agree. Im just happy you don't get forced to drive supercars thru dirt tracks anymore.

bhytre 2,753 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Gotta love the attention to detail in the sound department. Outside view and cockpit view are completely different but both incredibly good. It sounds insane with my Audio-Technica headphones. The Audi Sport Quattro S1 in cockpit view makes that weezing noise these type of rally cars make it's so satisfying to hear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
